Except, of course, when they can:
The Afghan immigrant at the center of what the authorities described as one of the most serious threats to the United States since 9/11 pleaded guilty Monday to terrorism charges in what he said was a Qaeda plot to detonate a bomb in the New York subway.
As for the argument that you can't get good information from cases in criminal cases where torture is not permitted:
In recent weeks, Mr. Zazi — who was born in Afghanistan, raised in Pakistan and later attended high school in Queens — had begun providing information to prosecutors as part of the initial stages of an agreement that led to his guilty plea on Monday, according to two people with knowledge of the case.
Yep. That's how it works in the real world, not in the "zOMG, 24hours, ticking time bomb" fantasy world of the torture apologists.
